Ultimate Bubble Recipe

By Mel Evans

There is nothing more uplifting than children chasing bubbles through the sunshine. Last year we kept the bubble mix going all Summer long and it made a lovely end to sessions.

As a little sunshine might be coming our way we thought it was time to share our well tried and tested ‘Ultimate Bubble Recipe’ as well as some ideas for bubble wand making.

Ultimate Bubbles

Add 1 cup of cornflour and 1 cup of washing up liquid to a bucket. Stir together. Add 2 cups of cold water and stir again. Add 10 more cups of water and stir some more. Leave to settle for a few minutes. Now make bubbles and have fun. If the mixture separates give it another stir.

Giant bubble wand

You can create giant bubble with this bubble mix by making a wand using two sticks, some string and a washer. A loop of string is tied to the sticks with the washer in the middle. If you don’t have any washers a bead, button or bottle top with a hole in it would all work.

The willow wand

This is simply a piece of willow looped around and secured with string. If you can’t source willow then any thin bendy sticks would work.

Small and beautiful wands

These wands are ideal for a small space. Pipe cleaners are shaped and secured to a stick with string. They can be personalised using beads.
